Are you working at the intersection of transportation and public art? Community planning and theatre as public engagement strategy? Are you a non-profit and a neighborhood visual artist tackling a civic health issue together? Are you a municipal department working with an artist in residence trying to build a community engaged process for a problem-solving collaboration? If as a team you are interested in expanding your knowledge and/or capacity for arts-based community led transformation, join us for this three day session on ideas, approaches and partnership process related to civic practice, placemaking and placekeeping.
Center for Performance and Civic Practice is a national team of artists who believe that with the right approach, the same tools and capacities that artists use to make art can be utilized to transform systems and improve the impacts of government and community-driven efforts and programs. We advise, consult and collaborate across the US on projects often framed as Creative Placemaking/Arts and Community Development. We work with institutions and systems including city governments, community-based organizations, arts councils, universities, social service agencies and parks departments as well as with individual artists and arts organizations. Through our work with these entities and relationships with groups like ArtPlace and LISC, we frequently provide technical assistance to cross sector teams in communities who are developing their own capacity for integrating arts, culture and design into projects with public good goals. We are excited to now be offering this sort of capacity-building through this CPCP Summer Institute. Join CPCP Lead Artist for Civic Imagination Michael Rohd alongside CPCP Learning Lab & Catalyst Initiative Program Director Rebecca Martínez for this three day workshop looking at process and tools for: how to develop creative strategies focused on problem-solving; coalition building and inclusive visioning; how to build individual and/or organizational capacity for cross-sector partnerships; how to invite, listen and incorporate community voices by designing public engagement tactics and project decision-making with values of equity and justice at the core; how to build further local interest, awareness and capacity for this type of work.
Unable to join us for three days? Or not currently part of a project team? You can still join us for our Intro to Civic Practice, Creative Placemaking & Placekeeping, June 18th. Or join for the three days in the important role of respondent- engage with one of the attending teams as they go through the process. You will be prompted to offer observations, help guide inquiry and collaborate on the team's work to articulate, clarify and develop purpose and strategy.
Sojourn and CPCP work to support and increase the capacity of artists and community organizations to imagine and collaborate towards racially equitable and economically just communities.
